“…Nonetheless, combining the recent findings of aHBV from Krause-Kyora et al (2018) and Muhlemann et al (2018) with the knowledge of AMH migration histories have enabled the proposition of an alternative model for the origin of primate HBV. We propose the origin and evolution of modern-day human and Old World NHP HBV could be driven by major AMH migration events, including the early human migration out of Africa during the Upper Paleolithic era ( Bergstrom et al, 2021 ) and the agricultural expansion during the Neolithic ( Brace et al, 2006 ; Larson et al, 2014 ).…”

Recent interest in the origins and subsequent evolution of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) has strengthened with the discovery of ancient HBV sequences in fossilized remains of humans dating back to the Neolithic period around 7,000 years ago. Metagenomic analysis identified a number of African non-human primate HBV sequences in the oldest samples collected, indicating that human HBV may have at some stage, evolved in Africa following zoonotic transmissions from higher primates. Ancestral genotype A and D isolates were also discovered from the Bronze Age, not in Africa but rather Eurasia, implying a more complex evolutionary and migratory history for HBV than previously recognized. Most full-length ancient HBV sequences exhibited features of inter genotypic recombination, confirming the importance of recombination and the mutation rate of the error-prone viral replicase as drivers for successful HBV evolution. A model for the origin and evolution of HBV is proposed, which includes multiple cross-species transmissions and favors subsequent recombination events that result in a pathogen and can successfully transmit and cause persistent infection in the primate host.

“…Instead, distinct events should be considered, including inland dispersals across Central and Northeast Asia (e.g. Beeton et al 2014;Bergström et al 2021;Dennell 2017Dennell , 2020Dennell et al 2020;Goebel 1999;Goebel 2015;Li et al 2019;Reyes-Centeno et al 2015;Rybin 2014;Zwyns 2012). Contemporaneous but not yet firmly associated with Homo sapiens skeletal remains, the Initial Upper Paleolithic (IUP) assemblages in Asia could represent evidence for such a longdistance population migration extending eastward from the Middle East to the Yellow River, and perhaps even beyond (Brantingham et al 2004;Fu et al 2014;Madsen et al 2014;.…”

The Initial Upper Paleolithic in Central and East Asia: Blade Technology, Cultural Transmission, and Implications for Human Dispersals

Archaeological assemblages labeled as Initial Upper Paleolithic are often seen as possible evidence for dispersals of Homo sapiens populations in Eurasia, ca. 45,000 years ago. While most authors agree that the IUP can be recognized by a set of shared features, there is far less consensus on what these features are, and what they mean. Because of methodological challenges inherent to long distance comparisons, documenting and establishing a firm connection between archaeological assemblages remain difficult and often draw legitimate skepticism. There could be many reasons why Paleolithic hunter-gatherers used comparable technologies, but it usually comes down to two kinds of processes: cultural transmission or convergence. In other words, technological similarities may illustrate a cultural link between regions or may be caused by mechanisms of independent reinvention between more distantly related populations. Here, I focus on three assemblages from the Siberian Altai, Zabaikal region, and North Mongolia to address one main question: is there such thing as a united IUP in Central and East Asia, or are we looking at unrelated yet comparable adaptive processes? First, I describe the common structure of lithic blade production at the sites, with special attention to derived features relative to the regional sequence. After comparing the complexity of the production system with those of other lithic technologies, I suggest that this coherent, intricate, yet unprecedented technological pattern found across contiguous regions in Asia is better explained by transmission processes than by multiple unrelated reinventions, or local developments. The blade production system described in Siberia and Mongolia reoccur as a package, which is consistent with indirect bias and/or conformist cultural transmission processes. Overall, the results point toward close contact between individuals and hunter gatherer populations, and supports the recognition of a broad cultural unit to encapsulate Asian IUP assemblages. Considering other lines of evidence, the geographical and chronological distribution of Asian IUP lithic technology is consistent with a dispersal of Homo sapiens populations in Central and East Asia during the Marine Isotopic Stage 3, although the geographical origin of such movement is less clear.

“…Svante Pääbo [63, S. 313], einer der für diese Entdeckungen wesentlichen Wissenschaftler, drückt dies wie folgt aus: "Unsere Vorfahren waren Teil eines Netzwerks von mittlerweile ausgestorbenen Gesellschaften, die durch gelegentlichen oder zuweilen vielleicht auch andauernden Gen-Fluss miteinander verbunden waren". 10 Die Geschichte unserer Vorfahren ist alles andere als eine lineare Entwicklung mit uns Heutigen am Ende. Vielmehr ist es ein Geflecht von Gruppen, die sich aufteilten, an unterschiedliche Lebensbedingungen anpassten und wieder aufeinandertrafen, wobei sich ihr Erbgut mischte.…”
